The Night I Sleep

After most of the day, away in my drudge
I fair my way home to spend it alone
With miles to walk, I haggardly trudge
covered in grime and soaked to the bone

As night comes on quick, plunging the scene
I hurry inside, escaping dark lure
Lighting the fire whose warmth that I glean
Dancing light flickers, unnerved and obscure

And as I have yearned I earnestly fall
Amungst my soft bed in such a cold night
I sink into caption of angels whom call
And as my eyes wane I Give up the fight

Fluttering my heart; unconscious my mind
Intriguing conceptions of love left behind
The beauty of shadows; the walls which they creep
So dense are the clouds whom cry as I sleep

Away now, It's summer
Amidst a green glade
I forge for the forest
In search of some shade

I perch by the river
A tree over thine
And submerge in water
These bare feet of mine

I gaze at the sun
The tint of the sky
The vain rainbow trout
Attempting to fly

And now as the sun receeds from this world
The forest grows dark with creatures whom prowl
Whose blood wrenching claws painstakingly curl
To carry out deeds so cynically foul

And as luck would have it
The lightning spit
Striking the forest
Engulfing it

So fast was the wild to escape was absurd
For soon they upon me, the whole sickly heard
their teeth sank inside me, and ripped me apart
Scathing in efforts to tear out my heart

the flames now upon us
So beautifully jive
The screams of the wild
Now burning alive

When all the smoke clears; low and behold
I wake to the morn and the sunshine it brings
With no recollection of the story I've told
the blue bird outside sanguinely sings
